"To reduce server load, a limit of 30,000 registered users is imposed, with unused accounts being dropped after 42 days of inactivity to make way for new users."

Is this still true? When I go to their web page and click on sign up, it says that the site isn't open to the public. Do they ever make accounts available any more?

Yes. I know several people who have successfully registered recently. The "This site isn't open to the public" message is just what you see if there are no vacancies for new members. You just have to keep trying.

[edit] April Fool's Day 2006

The site appears to have been shut down by the BBC and MPAA today but this is just an april fools joke! Navigate to one of the sub-pages and the site will function as normal. :D

It'd be interesting to see what effect this prank had on the tracker's traffic. I've heard tell of a number of fooled users deleting their .torrents, and can imagine some may even have removed content from their hard-drives too. =D If anyone gets figures, as a percentage drop or something, it might be worth working them into the article. ◄ИΞШSΜΛЯΞ► 10:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


Jimjeroo does not even appear to be user on UKNova? And there is nothing about this on the UKNova forums ? If there is not citation for this soon I'm removing it... 12:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Fully refuted on UKNova's forums ... Jimjeroo's comments say it all .."I didn't tell the 'Daily Sport' I was selling the site. I mentioned leasing it out like a bouncy castle and standing next to it with a huge set of keys dangling off my belt while children got fell of it and got nosebleeds, but that's about it."!

It's a corker. Early signs are that this has been their most successful prank yet. -- BrokenStar 17:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Deletion

Why was this deleted ?

It is prominent enough to be listed on the Template:BitTorrent as a prominent site (It is now the *only* one without it's own page) and Listed in Category:BitTorrent websites where the majority of the pages are minor unremarkable sites ?

Does someone have a vendetta against UKNova ?

Odd, apart from the original poster, the discussion all seemed in favour of keeping - the the exception of someone who was only posting from an IP address. I wonder if an appeal is in order? Nfitz 23:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
